Hi guys,I bought a Xperia Mini Pro to my girlfriend.
Like my Xperia Mini has the worst touchscreen that I ever seen/touched.
Try to play Fruit Ninja is impossible,because the touchscreen lose your fingers.
If you draw a circle very fast with a paint app,it's lose your touch.
This is annoying when I navigate on the browser or scroll contacts and music.
Why no one has noticed this problem?
The only problem on your list that i noticed is with fruit ninja but the weird thing is that it's working well with the other app called fruit slice
That's the only problem i noticed about the touchscreen in 2 month of use (sk17)
otherwise I am quite satisfied.
I have Mini Pro (SK17i) and I still get nearly 1000 points in Fruit Ninja (Arcade Mode), not too much but I think it's not bad at all.
I advice you to download "Multi Touch Paint" and you will discover how malfunctioning this touchscreen.
Use this app in "Kids Mode" and made a continuos circle very fast.
In Xperia Mini there are some disconnects.
In Xperia Mini Pro the touch screen is crazy,because the pen is going where don't touch.
I dont know why are you having hard time with screens, but my Xperia mini works perfect, never had any problems with it

Because Fruit Ninja use multitouch while fruit slice use single touch.

I send it to Sony Ericsson Support,I hope that they can fix it.
Using an (constantly under RAM pressure) X8 at the moment I unfortunately have to agree that touchscreen responsiveness is noticeably inferior on both the mini and the mini pro. I noticed when using the device one handed, i.e. operating the screen with the thumb. Fast scrolling is nearly not possible. We're not talking about performance here, the device ist fast. It is about the digitizer being unable to register quick flings over a short distance.
To visualize this I tried Kids Paint Free. It simply draws gestures with random colors for each stroke. This is perfect to determine whether the digitizer has lost the finger: if it has, a new color will be drawn.
I drawed a couple of QUICK vertical up-down flings of about one inch length each at about four strokes per second. The X8 registered these correctly and displayed them at the given length. The mini (and also a mini pro I tried at a local store) registered only at most half an inch of the movement. If you increase gesture speed even further, some are being registered as taps (resulting in a dot being drawn)!
This is exactly what happens when scrolling around: it feels laggy, because you can't input a certain length of fling in a short time, i.e. "give power to the scroll". Occasionally you might even end up with a false tap where you actually wanted a scroll.
Another test is to start on the upper right corner an try to fill the whole screen by diagonally wiping to an fro until you reach the lower left corner. This will even end up in the digitizer not responding until you lift the finger again. It was not possible to fill the screen in one long gesture! Again no problem on the X8.
I returned my mini yesterday for this very reason, it renders the device unusable to me. A real pity, given the otherwise good specs of it.
Now: have I encountered defective devices? Can anyboy confirm? Is there a parameter to set some kind of progression like with mouse pointers on a PC?
You phone might have problem with heating and navigation keys. Keys are connected to screen, so every time you hold you finger on the screen, keys may react by themselves. Send it to service if you have warranty.
Its very strange that you have screen issues... I have sk17i and also try st15 in store. Feelings just awesome,
sensivity and speed is very good. No lag or stucks at all time. Maybe you sould return that one for warranty

If u cant live with sk17i,i recommend u to buy another phone
No offense,just saying
Touchscreen responsiveness Xperia Mini (Pro)
Hi all,
thank you for your input. Please don't blame the thread title, I didn't choose it and just didn't want to clutter the forum with another thread on the same topic.
Just for the right scope: my Mini did not overheat in any way, the two soft buttons worked perfectly. Also I'm not complaining about scrolling performance of the OS or the device. Once it scrolls, it does so smooth, lag-free and fast. I'm all about giving drive or momentum into quick (respectively short) strokes.
Please find two screenshots made with Kids Paint to illustrate what I mean. Sorry that I may not yet post image links. I'd be glad if anyone who is content with his or her digitizer performance could try the same on a their mini (pro)s. The APK is also attached.
Test case 1 (vertical flings):
Speed is absolutely of the essence. This screen has to be drawn in less than three seconds. There's no point in doing it slower, it will work. On the Minis I tried it was not possible to get the lines that long in the given time.
Test case 2 (screen fill):
Start at the upper right corner and fill the screen in one continuous stroke. Again, this has to be done in at most five seconds. I have not been able to do so, the Mini's digitizer lost my finger (new color drawn) and stopped completely reacting at about 3/4 of the screen.
I'd happily accept that I had devices from a defective lot and try another. I wouldn't invest time here on this issue if I didn't think that the Mini was THE phone for me (price- and spec-wise).

Maybe. Though I had expected SE to do at least as well as they did 1,5 years ago on the now outdated X8, wouldn't you?
Anyway, so does your comment mean your Mini Pro behaves the same way?

My daughter's xperia mini pro behaves the same way:-( Fast swype movements are not registered or misregistered to clicks. The problem is worsening, when the phone is on the charger. Overall, I am not satisfied with it, I will exchange it to an experia pro.

I have the same problem, and my touch buttons are not working properly either, and fast swyping is also terrible.

I have the same problem with the screen. But is it case of warranty? Or just a feature in Apple style?
I havent face any issue yet

Greetings XDA'ers, i have a Galaxy S II (international) and it's running stock ICS (XXWLPG) and the "problem" is that right before the lock screen comes up there is some screen flickering, black and white lines flickers vertically across the screen in about half a second before the lockscreen comes up. Its very hard to see this. But its easy to see it in dark rooms, like cinemas and such.
I have already returned the phone to where i bought it, the first time they changed the front LCD panel. and 2. time they didn't fix anything. And here in Norway the third time can get my money back for the phone if the same problem exists for 3 times. And if i do that then i can get the money back. And buy a S III ))
But anyway is this normal, they said they discovered the problem when i send it in the first time. and its still happening. so is this happening to you guys??
-Thanks for your helpfulness
Anyone???
I've not seen it, and you may need to wait longer than 2 hours to get a response from someone who has. This is a forum, not your personal instant messaging support client.
no it's not normal, pretty obvious
Hi,
I just got an EVO 3D today as a replacement for my old phone that broke. I noticed that the touch screen records some of my touch inputs a bit to the left. So when I touch backspace, it actually types 'm' and when I try to touch p it registers as o. I don't want to go to the trouble of going back to the sprint store, so would calibration.ini work still on ics?
Yeah, you should be able to go into settings under display and recaliberate your screen
Mine does the EXACT same thing. I rarely can type a p to save my life (although it is more tolerable using Swype). It seems like the right 5% of my screen is unresponsive.
I couldn't find any calibration under Display in settings (I'm running a sense 3.6 custom Rom). Where exactly is it?
I'm afraid my digitizer is messed up, but I don't get the craziness of ghost presses and such. But this issue happens for me on every Rom so I'm leaning toward a hardware issue.
Any help would be appreciated. :thumbup:
So I have an S6 edge stock nonrooted 0x0 7.0 and i sometimes have a problem that concernes me
So I leave my phone for a few hours and press home to wake and see my screen divided in 4 parts.
2 top parts are my screen but with colors mixed and fu**ed up hue and all
2 bottom parts are like a broken tv signal snow thingy both divided
I did a screenshot as a proof but after i saw that ss was normal as every else so that was hardware not software problem
Touch work but im not sure where but it works
To fix it I just lock/unlock my phone and its back to normal
Heres a quick sketch I did in PS in attachments

Last week I've got this problem too. I thought I f**cked up something with my hands when my phone was in my pocket, but after your screenshot I think I was wrong. :laugh:
The only solution was to restart the phone, but it was tricky because the touch sceeen wasn't working properly due to the 4-way sliced screen.
If anyone knows what this is, please tell us. :laugh:
So recently my phone has ghost images, leftovers from other apps on the screen. (eg. The top bar showing up ghostly when it shouldn't, controls of a game showing up on home screen after closing the game in a ghostly effect) It is not a software problem. I know it goes away on its own after some time, but it's very annoying and its freaking me out. Anyone else got this problem? How do I fix/prevent it
i got it to.not know hot to fix it
Very disappointed from xperia screen
I have also the same problem and it looks like a hardware issue. It's very noticeable when you increase the screen brightness. Notification bar icons/time appear all time against any dark background. Very annoying, even cheap phones don't have that problem.
Example I found online -> lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79782iF19656F933D1C741

I read that certain types of screen cause it, and it cannot be fixed except wait, which sucks, but I can't say for sure

I took these photos from my phone to show you how the screen retention problem looks like in Sony Xperia X.

Yes, thats exactly my problem. I noticed that it gets worse if the device is overheating
Sorry for the bump, but is any else having the same issue?
Mine seems to be getting worse and worse over time, to a point that it can literally retain half way up the display.
I use to have the same issue with my iPad Mini Retina until I took it in for a replacement and it hasn't happened since (2 years ago).
Any experiences with Sony replacing the display under warranty?
Thanks,

Not really. After buying the phone, I used it for two months without having this problem, then rooted, so no warranty

It started creeping in after 3 months for me.
Oh and it seems like that I have full screen retention now....

Wow, yours got on the next level. Mine isnt so bad. Actually , I rarely have the problem lately. Do you run poison 7.1? That particurar ROM I was using was problematic, causing the phone to overheat and the lcd problem was present all the time
Mine is completely stock and unrooted.

running completely stock & unrooted. Mine has this problem too. However, the image disappear after 10-20 minutes :|
I had this problem on my unit as well. Tried to adjust the white balance and it seems the issue was barely noticeable on the status and navigation bars.
The good thing is that screen retention falls under manufacturing defect and you will get a new screen.
Mine got replaced with a brand, spanking new one, but the issue has started to creep in just a little bit after a few months, but its very faint.
